| Abstract: | Education faculty are dedicated to preparing competent teachers. At the same time, they must provide reasonable accommodations
in the teaching and evaluation of qualified students with disabilities, in compliance with the mandates of Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This article describes some of the reasons that students with learning disabilities (LD) choose
teaching as a profession, and the difficulties that some students with LD have in teacher preparation programs. It discusses
the underlying legal and ethical issues encountered when working with students with LD in teacher education programs, as well
as some ways to enhance success.
The term learning disabilities is used since not all teacher candidates will have a language-based reading, spelling, and
written expression disorder or dyslexia. It is assumed, however, that approximately 80 percent or more will have dyslexia. |
